Any company which intends to manufacture Class A and/or B medical devices needs to obtain a manufacturing license. For companies which want to apply for a loan to manufacture such medical devices can also file an application to receive permission for the grant of loan and further manufacturing.
Class A and B medical devices are considered to be low and low to moderate risk devices and may also include in-vitro diagnostic medical devices.
These licenses are granted for manufacturing medical devices with the intent of sale and distribution.
The application is filed using Form MD-3 for the grant of license to manufacture Class A and Class B medical devices for sale or distribution and the subsequent permission for license to manufacture Class A and Class B medical device is granted in the Form MD-5.
Similarly, the application is filed using form MD-4 for the grant of loan license to manufacture Class A and Class B medical devices for sale or distribution and the permission for loan license to manufacture Class A and Class B medical device is granted in the Form MD-6. Since the application is made for manufacturing Class A and Class B medical devices, it is filed towards the State Licensing Authority of the respective state.
Along with the form, there are certain documents which need to be submitted.
